Chapter: 344

"Norah, I heard you were married. How's that going? Are you happy in your marriage?" Alice asked.

Alice was out of the loop regarding Norah's recent life. She only knew that since getting married, Norah had lost contact with her old friends and the happenings of her past life. Being overseas made Alice even more unaware of the details.

"I'm divorced now." Norah's voice carried no weight of emotion. She wasn't ashamed to talk about it. She had misjudged Derek. Anyway, Derek once saved her life, and she had repaid that favor. Now, there were no debts left between them.

“Divorced? Norah, what went wrong?" Alice was stunned. In her mind, it was inconceivable for any man to let go of someone as stunning and capable as Norah.

“I got divorced not too long ago. There was a mission here, so I came over to see you." A small smile played on Norah's lips. “It's been ages since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"

"Indeed, it's been ages!"

When Norah was about to visit Otland, she suddenly recalled Alice's presence there. They had both been in the same organization, working on their last assignment together. After its completion, they came back to report, only to be informed that their organization had been disbanded. Norah gave up her alias, went back to Glophia, and lost almost all contact with Alice.

Alice's gaze, blue as the ocean, fixed on Norah. “Norah, whatever it is, you can share with me. You know I can be as silent as the grave.”

Norah's eyelashes fluttered as she looked down. “Alice, so much has happened over the years..."

They had trained and gone on countless missions together, forging a bond as strong as life itself.

Choosing to leave her alias behind and forget her past with the organization, Norah married Derek and tried to start anew in Glophia.

"I'm so sorry. I left you behind for a man." Norah then shared a brief overview of her life in Glophia, looking remorseful as she lifted her head.

"Norah, just your visit makes me incredibly happy." Alice's light blue eyes sparkled against her blonde hair, and her lips, tinted rose, curved into a smile. "I might not know the best way to comfort you, but remember, Norah, I'm always here for you."

Alice wrapped Norah in a tight embrace, offering her warmth and support. "Trust me, you'll find someone much better."

Alice thought to herself how blind Norah's ex must be. Norah's beauty and talent were bound to attract far better prospects, leaving him with deep regrets.

"So, Norah, what brings you to Otland? Need my help?"

"I'm here for a surgical operation for the royal family of Otland.

If you don't mind, could you drive me to the castle?"

“Of course," Alice agreed immediately, not even bothering to ask about any details.

"You've been resting for a while. Want to get out? There's a car race happening in Lochdeer tonight. Interested?" Alice suggested.

"Sounds good." Norah nodded.

Alice's eyes lit up with excitement as she grabbed the car keys from the table. "Look at this! I've got a brand-new racing car. It hasn't even seen a race track yet. I bet you could make it fly."

Alice flung the keys through the air, and Norah caught them, the McLaren emblem shining in her palm.

“Hit the jackpot, did you? A McLaren, no less?" Norah teased.
